It is a generous review but that comment is incorrect. A Blue Pup USB stick is totally transportable between PCs with just the network settings to possibly change. (I.e. delete existing network profile then click on eth0 or wireless to set up new connection with SNS)
I will have to point that out and alert the author to the later version. V4 might get another half star! _________________Regards ETP

Adding to your point, just yesterday I cloned a USB key with Blue Pup V3 to another key and plugged the duplicate key into an old notebook. It booted up perfectly until graphics mode, then dropped down to text mode with instructions to run XorgWizard. So I did and I was back running graphics mode in less than a minute. That's portability to me!_________________Fatdog64-721|+Packages|Kodi|Findnrun|+forum|gtkmenuplus

If I can offer a suggestion, you have a premier PUP in BLUE. But the notion of portability needs some very good clarity. It can be explained in a simple short document that you can provide in a BLUE button or in a thread, here, or an HTML page which comes with the BLUE OOTB system or ...

There are several items as @Greengeek points out that could be made clear; network adapter changes is one of them. Further, one of the several important items about the network is not just the IP addr which your comments reflect, but its the underlying hostname change, the MAC address change(s), system files, etc. I had share earlier about running BarryK's FirstRUN which in included in BLUE to affect those changes for the user, simply. ON just this one item, networking, it could make you life simpler with little to no investment on your part, just guidance.

@Step offers additional useful information in the area of transportability._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Thunderbird 24.6.0 is now available.
To update it please see item 7 in the second post of this thread._________________Regards ETP

Installing the dotpet creates a menu item at the top of the JWM desktop sub menu.

A more convenient method of launching it is to drag the .desktop file onto the desktop and then edit it to remove the text beneath the icon and to assign a shortcut key to it.
The attached screenshot shows the “knight icon” with the “Pause key” used to launch the saver.

Ctrl+Q must be used to quit the saver. Use the space bar to pause/resume.
As this is a faux screen saver it can be used in conjunction with the normal proper
screen saver which could for example be set to blank the screen after 10 minutes.
If you do that, 2 presses of the space-bar will wake things up with the second press
resuming the "Endgame".

On 1st August MS killed off access to all versions of Skype for Linux prior to version 4.3.0.37.
This has been a problem for many Pups that contain earlier versions of Skype. Future Pups may require pulseaudio if a work-around for that requirement cannot be found.
Thanks to stirling work by numerous forum members a fix to keep the old versions running has been found. All versions of Blue contain skype-4.2.0.11-wheezy and installing the following pet will resurrect Skype in Blue Pup.

Though I do not possess any expertise in the technical linux arena, but as an user, may I please share my experience?

1. Recently i had to purchase a new HP with Windows 8.1 laptop. I have a respect for Microsoft for their XP & other versions, but this 8.1 dilutes it. I think Microsoft has forgot what is the main aim of customers -- having a "Wah Wah" desktop or an efficient machine?

2. In Puppy, we have a lot of things to do. Do not mind, but my thinking says instead of having new skins added, we should have stepped in the problematic areas of Puppy.

I am not criticizing you and without testing, I can not comment on your efforts, but I write this as ............
